GM appeals US$1.2bn Malibu award
General Motors is appealing the US$1.2bn award to six people badly burned in a Chevrolet Malibu. It claims the Los Angeles
superior court judge refused to let jurors hear that the crash was caused by a speeding drunk driver, or that the Malibu was,
at the time of crash in 1993, recognised as one of the safest cars on the road.
